Gardner tea cup

The cup is very pretty. I have another, blue one, and they together look very impressive. However, the porcelain is very thick. I don't think that Russian emperors would drink tea from such a thick porcelain. Thin Lomonosov porcelain seems to be much better suited for their needs :) However, the shape is very interesting and fancy, and the painting and colors are amazing - we love it. My husband suggested that it would be good to have also a red and a yellow one :)
